I prefer to think of my attitude as more one of disgust than mere skepticism.
Originally posted by darvlayIf you ever took over any clan that I was a member of I would resign my commision idmediately. You just don't have the temperment to lead an active clan darvlay. I don't think I could live with myself if we were to cause you to have another meltdown.

Originally posted by no1marauderBack at the ranch ..... What disgusts me is that there seems to be more attention paid to disciplining/punnishing those who bring allegations of specific cheaters to the attention of the community than there is to those who cheat . I think it's fine to have a policy which actively discourages baseless allegations (like those thrown at Nyxie and Xanthosnz in the recent past) . But to have a gag on accusations side by side with little effort to catch cheaters is ass-backwards . This seems to foster an atmosphere where cheating could thrive as complaints will yield nothing but grief and frustration for the whistle-blower , while the cheat is free to operate in peace and anonimity .

I could do a great impression of no1marauder and his self-importance and have ongoing parodies of his Megachallenges (such that his legacy endured, of course). For sure Hopscotch and Ragnorak would join and we could each do our impressions of former members. Oh, I would never get tired of such hijinx.

EDIT - ha! Just thinking about it makes me smile. We could kick all the members out then move all the Guttersnipes in and trash the thing. Oh, what sweet spoils they would be!

Originally posted by no1marauderi`ve pretty much stayed out of this thread, my rating is not that high that I would worry about people using engines against. Also i`m a bit trusting so if someone do beat me I figure they are a better player than me and deserve the win.
I prefer to think of my attitude as more one of disgust than mere skepticism.
But this confuses me, no1marauder starts a thread about engine use and not enough is being done and we want to see results and he is frustrated (perfectly in his right). Other people join and say the same things which gets other people aware (like myself, who didn`t know this was problem) and the ball starts rolling to do something.
As soon as someone suggests something to take this further (a vote to see the names of people who cheat) the person who started all the thinking poo-poos the idea straight away! saying it will never work cause "it`s just another vote". Maybe it won`t work who knows maybe nothing will change cause of the vote but at least be happy in the fact that you seem to have achieved at least some sort of goal!

What assurance do you offer your clan members that you won't quit again darvlay? What's the point of carying a banner into battle, if the leader is'nt? You would'nt have to boot me. My clan is about chess, not personalities. There are no whiners in my clan.

In all seriousness, I don't take clans seriously anymore.
Okay, I will hold off on the tangents in this thread from now on...

You use site feedback, or PM Russ, David Tebb, or Me about who's che@ing. Have a good reason other than "they beat me".
The names go into a list, and are reviewed. Public is not the way to go... and never will be the way to go. We are not protecting che@s; we are protecting everyone so users are not wrongly accused.
Now, having said that... DT and I both want more info from Russ to get some new users as game mods, as the work is WORK and takes time.
Also, Russ had another idea that I can't talk about... just to let you know he's thinking about this topic.
P-
